| DEVELOPMENT HISTORY |
Monster Hunter Wilds is a new installment in Capcom's popular hunting RPG series. The project was announced at The Game Awards 2023, where the developers promised significant innovations, an expanded open world, and improved hunting mechanics. Development began shortly after the success of Monster Hunter Rise and its expansion Sunbreak, with an emphasis on next-gen technology.
Capcom set out to make Monster Hunter Wilds the most expansive game in the series, introducing dynamic weather conditions, more complex monster behavior, and advanced artificial intelligence. One of the main focuses was to create a living, interactive ecosystem world in which the actions of the player and other creatures affect the environment.
The script was developed with the aim of deepening the narrative aspect of the franchise. Now players will have the opportunity to interact more with NPCs, and the plot will be more connected with the exploration of the world and its inhabitants. The developers also focused on the variability of the passage, adding many new tools for exploration and hunting.
Despite ambitious plans, the team faced technical difficulties associated with creating a seamless world without loading between regions. Optimization for current-gen consoles and PCs became one of the main tasks. The use of advanced technologies allowed achieving high detail, and the transition to a new game engine opened up opportunities for improved animation and physics.
| GRAPHICS |
Monster Hunter Wilds uses cutting-edge technology to create the most realistic and detailed world possible. The graphics have become more cinematic due to the use of an improved lighting system and complex simulation of weather effects. The game engine allows rendering vast spaces without loss of quality, which is especially important for an open world.
Special attention was paid to the animations of the creatures. Monsters behave naturally, react to the environment and even interact with each other. Thanks to the improved ragdoll and physics system, collisions between creatures and players have become more realistic. The developers also implemented dynamic materials: monster skins get wet during rain, and footprints remain in the mud after storms.
The level of detail in the environments has reached a new level. Different biomes, from deserts to dense forests, have unique features that affect gameplay. For example, sandstorms in the desert can limit visibility, while slippery surfaces in snowy regions make movement difficult. Additional graphics settings include support for ray tracing, improved anti-aliasing, and support for ultra-wide monitors. On PC, the game will support an unlocked frame rate, ensuring smooth gameplay on powerful systems.
| GAME ENGINE |
Monster Hunter Wilds is being developed on an updated version of the RE Engine, which Capcom uses for its latest games. This engine allowed the developers to implement a vast open world without loading screens, dynamic changes in time of day and weather conditions, as well as advanced animations for characters and monsters. One of the key innovations of the engine is an improved artificial intelligence system. Monsters have become not just aggressive opponents, but full-fledged predators hunting each other and reacting to changes in the environment. This adds realism and makes hunting more tactical.
The physical model of the environment has also received a significant improvement. Players can destroy objects, use terrain elements in their strategies and adapt to changing conditions. The engine allows for complex interactions between characters, objects and weather effects, for example, strong winds affect firearms, and heavy rain can extinguish campfires.
Thanks to the capabilities of the RE Engine, Monster Hunter Wilds runs at high performance even on consoles, while offering flexible graphics settings on PC. DLSS and FSR technologies allow image scaling without significant loss of quality, and DirectX 12 support provides an additional performance boost. Monster Hunter Wilds promises to be the most technologically advanced part of the series, offering players a high degree of freedom, dynamic battles and a deeply developed world.
| QUALITY |
Lowest
- The most simplified models and textures are used, often with a lower original resolution (720p) and upscaled to 1080p.
- Shadows and lighting work according to basic algorithms, additional effects (detailed reflections, volumetric fog) are either disabled or greatly reduced.
- Post-processing has been kept to a minimum, and the effects on hits and magic look less saturated.
- The overall picture quality is noticeably simpler, but the game runs more stably on less powerful hardware (approximately ~30 FPS).
Ultra
- High-quality textures and models are included, the rendering of the environment becomes as detailed as possible (clear vegetation, surface texture).
- Enhanced lighting and shadow effects: Add soft and precise shadows, realistic highlights on metallic objects, and more detailed light sources.
- Post-processing (depth of field, bloom, atmospheric effects) works at full volume, making the picture more expressive.
- Modern processors and graphics cards with enough performance headroom are required to run stable frames per second at this level of detail.

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes 1920x1080, 2560x1440 и 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings without upscales.
Initially we were going to test Monster Hunter Wilds using a benchmark, but it soon became clear that its results were far from real gaming performance. This is especially true for the load on processors, which makes the use of the test to assess the suitability of the system very questionable.
Well, and also in the game beta version no ray tracing - This graphic technology will be added only in the final release of the game.
| TEST GPU |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
